Player input during their end of season meetings with owner James Dolan in attendance played a factor in the Knicks' decision to move on from Tom Thibodeau.

The New York Knicks have fired coach Tom Thibodeau, just days after their first trip to the Eastern Conference finals in 25 years.

In five seasons with the Knicks, Thibodeau posted a 226-174 record and led New York to the playoffs in four of those seasons.
